![]() ![]() First of all, circa 2014, there were very few flagships that were water-resistant.Īround 2013, only Sony was the major smartphone maker that made water-resistant flagships. It is water-resistant.īut as a person who has been following the history of water-resistant phones for a long time, and as a person who has tested the Galaxy S5 in seawater and seen it live to tell the tale, you are wrong about the S5 on all other fronts. moreTrue the S5 is not waterproof (careless wording on my side, since no mainstream phone is waterproof without a dedicated tight case). Kangal, While I agree with you on all fronts, the Samsung Galaxy S5 was not waterproof. Such a phone hasn't been done yet, to my knowledge, but it is possible yet expensive. you need a design similar to the iPhone 7 and actually coat the internal electrical components with a super-hydrophobic substance, and perhaps design a drain reservoir for anything that could make its way inside. If you want something MORE water resistant/proof. You can test these claims out yourself if you wish, although it won't be cheap. And the S5 also had a removable backplate which wasn't protected. I suspect it is because of a combination of the water resistant proofing around the buttons, ports, and the font glass of new devices. With that said, the S5 is actually water resistant, however it is not as water resistant as today's devices. And not all IP67 devices are equal, as the definition for IP67 and IP68 differ from one manufacturer to another. The S5 cannot handle a swim in a pool, let alone a murky riverbed. Granted, I wouldn't want to use a toilet-laden phone, but it is what it is. I stated my opinion/facts after first-hand seeing a Galaxy S5 die from internal water damage by a drop in the toilet. You might want to change your Username since the Arya incident : )ĪnonD-632062, True the S5 is not waterproof (careless wording on my side, since no mainstream phone is water. no need for the slow microSD for the majority More expensive phones >$500 should come with the USF 2.0 storage and come with plenty of it (64GB or 128GB's). I propose having different textures on the buttons to give that tactile-feedback in the dark.ħ) Fingerprint reader to remain in back, until Qualcomm's under-display fingerprint scanner is cheap enough and mass produceable (ie/ 2018).Ĩ) Yes, for phones priced under $300 where they come with less storage and slower eMMC storage. It does help with water proofing.Ħ) Try it. The sealed backplate is the norm now, and I've grown to not hate it, you will too. And that size seems to be the most preferred size by the general public which have smaller hands.Ĥ) Smaller bezels AND 16:9 AND front speakers = winningĥ) I agree, but its possible to stop bootloops with the power button and implementing the kernel/bootloader properly (ahem LG G3). ![]() However, 5.2 inches seems to be good enough for me, so it will be good enough for you. I don't know where you got your misinformation from.ģ) I get it, I prefer 5.7inch screens. They both use an Active Matrix sublayer, so both OLED panels can achieve a "infinite contrast". NOOBPROOF 1.1 AND WATERROOF 2.0 UPGRADE"Exclusive UI" have proven themselves time and time again to be very very slow to upgrade and maintain, and overall not very impressive.Ģ) pOLED and SAMOLED are identical. Also $499 is now deemed "cheap" thanks in-part to Samsung's and Apple's price rises as well as other players like Huawei and OnePlus. ![]() more1) I rather a "sh!t" OS, and actually design it with my own Launcher, Theme, Icons, Fonts, Wallpapers, etc etc. For 500$, we need exclusive UI with useful functionality, all the wh. ![]()
